George Gift and Asher Knipe represented my firm in a construction contract dispute. Their communication and knowledge of what to expect was refreshing. They were able to settle the dispute within a timely manner. Their ability to review and understand the large amount of documents / files timely was impressive. They were very fair with the hours billed. I have and will continue to provide them with recommendations. I will continue to use them for my construction legal needs in the future.

Attorney Knott and his team are an exceptional team. We recently created a LLC through the firm. George Knott helped my husband and I walk through each step of the process and answered all of our questions immediately. The process was so smooth and quick! Very impressed. Attorney Knott is now our FL attorney!

My Attorney George Gift did a wonderful job representing myself, my wife and family against a contractor. It was an extremely difficult and frustrating time for us until we got in contact with Mr Gift was there for us immediately responding to all of my emails and phone calls quickly. George was able to point us in the right direction and give me good legal advise telling us what our right where, what to expect was going to come next and what steps needed to be taken to move forward. Mr Gift was able to resolve the matter with an amicable resolution that I feel best for us. Though I hope to never

Asher Knipe, Angela and the rest of the team at Knott Ebelini Hart were absolutely incredible in helping to resolve my unfortunate legal situation with a bad roofer. Asher's legal acumen is second to none, especially (in my case) in the matters of construction law. My family and I are so thankful we chose Asher to advocate for me in this difficult matter and HIGHLY recommend his services.
